Real Madrid Eye Trent Alexander-Arnold for Club World Cup Amid Contract Departure from Liverpool

Real Madrid Eye Trent Alexander-Arnold for Club World Cup Amid Contract Departure from Liverpool
Real Madrid are keen on securing Trent Alexander-Arnold for the upcoming Club World Cup and are in discussions with Liverpool to negotiate an early release from his contract. The 26-year-old right-back, who has spent 20 years at Liverpool, confirmed he will leave the club when his contract expires in June 2025. While Real Madrid has been in talks with Alexander-Arnold's camp for months, they are now focused on finalizing the deal, hoping to bring him in ahead of schedule.

Although Madrid initially showed interest in signing the England international in January after Dani Carvajal's injury, Liverpool rejected the idea of parting with him mid-season. Now, with Alexander-Arnold set to leave on a free transfer, Madrid plans to negotiate a reasonable fee to facilitate his early departure. If successful, this move would allow him to join the team in time for their Club World Cup campaign in the United States, where Madrid will face teams like Al Hilal, Pachuca, and Salzburg.

Alexander-Arnold, who has won multiple major titles with Liverpool, including the 2019 Champions League and two Premier League titles, has expressed his desire for a new challenge. His departure from Anfield marks the end of a successful era, as he seeks a fresh opportunity with Real Madrid. The Spanish club views his participation in the Club World Cup as a key step in integrating him into their squad ahead of the 2025-26 season.
